Open Letter to Professor Michel Jacques Gagne - regarding his book "Thinking Critically About the JFK Assassination

 I emailed this letter to Professor Michel Jacques Gagne along with my fully footnoted & documented 2,500+ page file on the JFK assassination to on March 31, 2022. So far I have not received a response as of 4/3/2022. I have offered to put Professor Gagne in direct contact with John Clarence, Joan Mellen and Barr McClellan who are three authors who are well versed in the spectacular criminality of Lyndon Johnson. John Clarence is expert on LBJ's theft of 6 million troy ounces of gold from White Sands Missile Range. Joan Mellen is expert on LBJ, along with Israel, trying to murder all 294 American sailors on the USS Liberty so that the heinous crime would be blamed on Egypt. Barr McClellan is expert on LBJ's role in the JFK assassination, as told to him by two of LBJ's closest friends and personal lawyers Ed Clark and Don Thomas.

Professor Gagne,

 

    I have attached my entire file on the JFK assassination, a topic which I have studied intensely from spring 2008 until the present. I am not merely a "subject matter expert" on the JFK assassination, I am the World's Foremost Authority on the JFK Assassination. I have also reviewed your Thinking Critically About the Kennedy Assassination at my blog: http://robertmorrowpoliticalresearchblog.blogspot.com/2022/03/review-of-michel-jacques-gagnes.html 

 

    You are free to peruse or not peruse my attached file and you are free to share it with anyone who you wish. The best way to use this file is to SKIM it and use the CTRL-F search function. There are many golden nuggets in this file and I included the citations where they came from.

 

    I agree with many minor points in your book, but I take exception to your lone nutter thesis and even including Oswald as a perp in the crime.

 

    I don't think you have read deeply enough on Lyndon Johnson. This textbook psychopath, who reminds me a lot of Donald Trump psychologically, was murdering people long before he got to JFK: Sam Smithwick (1952) and Henry Marshall (1961). Later LBJ orchestrated the USS Liberty murders with Israel on June 8, 1967 - a crime which he intended to blame on Egypt so he would have a pretext to bomb, attack and remove Nasser of Egypt. Read Joan Mellen's book Blood in the Water for that topic.

 

    I don't think you are aware of the full-on war that was going on between the Kennedys and LBJ in the fall of 1963. I notice the names James Wagenvoord and Burkett van Kirk (in the Dark Side of Camelot) are not in your book. Do you know the significance of these men? How about Phil Brennan of NewsMax, do you know what he had to say? They all knew the Kennedys were in the processing of slitting LBJ's throat in the fall of 1963. 

 

    Both George Reedy and Horace Busby (both extremely close LBJ aides) say LBJ was completely aware of and utterly obsessed with what the Kennedys were doing to him. I wonder how LBJ would have reacted? Just sit there, do nothing and twiddle his thumbs and hope for the best? 

 

    Gen. Edward Lansdale? 99.9% sure he was involved in the JFK assassination. Gen. Victor Krulak - not just Prouty - also identified Lansdale in the photo that was taken about 2:30PM on 11-22-63 five feet west of the TSBD. After being dumped into the trash can by the Kennedys on 10-31-63, Lyndon Johnson immediately resurrected Lansdale's career. I wonder why he would do that? Lansdale's top congressional sponsor was a Kennedy-hating right wing Democrat named Sen. Thomas Dodd (D-CN) who was a close personal friend of LBJ.

    

    Side note: I know a JFK researcher who has 3 more close friends of Lansdale who have identified him in that photo: including a former wife of Lansdale (Lansdale's widow I believe - the mistress who he married late in life).

 

    Speaking of the TSBD, it was owned by D.H. Byrd, a Texas oil man and military contractor who, in addition to being the University of Texas' largest athletic donor, was extremely close to Lyndon Johnson. Byrd owned LTV and he made a gargantuan amount of money off the Vietnam War and his building was indeed used to house snipers (not Oswald) who shot JFK. Byrd also took out the so-called sniper's window at the TSBD and kept it as a memento just like he kept dead animals in his house from all his hunting expeditions: JFK was his largest big game catch! Byrd also was buying significant amounts of shares of LTV stock in the weeks before the JFK assassination. Peter Dale Scott proved that useful nugget back in 1970. Byrd, who also went by Col. D.H. Byrd, founded the Civil Air Patrol and of course had many deep and high level military connections, as did LBJ.

 

    Why is D.H. Byrd not even mentioned in your book?

 

    I am personal friends with Barr McClellan. Would like to speak with him? LBJ's 35 year blood brother and "secret political boss of Texas" Ed Clark admitted to Barr that he helped to murder JFK. Barr was good friends with Don Thomas, a tax attorney for LBJ who was one of LBJ's closest friends ever and I include Lady Bird in that inner circle. Don Thomas also told Barr that Ed Clark/LBJ killed JFK.

 

    Barr McClellan is not addressed in your book either. There are gross inaccuracies in his book because he was not conversant in JFK research. Barr's significance was that he knew very well two of LBJ's closest and longest serving partners in crime: Ed Clark and Don Thomas. Both men indicted LBJ for JFK's murder.

 

    Lyndon Johnson, D.H. Byrd, Gen. Edward Lansdale, Ed Clark - there sure is a lot of radiation around all of those men.

 

    Gen. Charles Cabell, fired by JFK, also knew Lansdale and LBJ and he thought very lowly of the Kennedys. And his CIA asset brother Mayor Earle Cabell, later became an LBJ flunky as a congressman. Cabell's son told me in an interview that his father was always very "close mouthed" on the topic of the JFK assassination. I wonder why?

 

     Kennedy-hating J. Edgar Hoover? Did you know he was LBJ's neighbor in Washington, D.C. from 1943-1961? And that he knew the Kennedys were going to force him to retire at the mandatory retirement age of 70 on January 1, 1965? Maybe that is why Hoover weirdly was immediately pushing that a lone nut killed JFK.

 

      E. Howard Hunt? Yet another protege of Allen Dulles and he said he was a "back bencher" in the JFK assassination and that LBJ was involved in it. Are you aware that E. Howard Hunt was spying for LBJ on the 1964 Goldwater campaign? Why would Hunt try to sabotage a fellow right winger? Maybe because Hunt was involved in the JFK assassination and he had to have LBJ in the White House to ensure the cover up?

 

    Those are the JFK perps I am most sure of with LBJ, Byrd, Lansdale and Ed Clark being in the 99% to 100% sure they were involved range. Hoover was an immediate accessory to murder after the fact at a bare minimum. At a bare minimum CIA proteges of Allen Dulles were involved in JFK's death.

 

    What do all these men have in common? The Kennedys had either fired them or were going to fire them!!

LBJ - in process of being destroyed, not merely fired. Allen Dulles and Gen. Lansdale - fired. Hoover - about to be fired. D.H. Byrd and Ed Clark were about to lose their cash cow LBJ, so their income flows were about to be "fired" as well. Notably, Ed Clark was also very unhappy when LBJ decided not to run in 1968 - his income depended on LBJ. Barr McClellan told me that.

 

    Oswald? - how can you mention him and not mention Herb Philbrick and the significance of Oswald's adulation of an FBI informer who PRETENDED TO BE A COMMUNIST? Oswald was an avid fan of both the radio and TV show of I Led Three Lives. 

 

QUOTE

          The center of Lee’s fantasy world shifted from radio to television when Mother bought a television set in 1948. When it was new, all of us spent far too much time watching variety shows, dramas and old movies. Lee, particularly, was fascinated. One of his favorite programs was I Led Three Lives, the story of Herbert Philbrick, the FBI informant who posed as a Communist spy. In the early 1950’s, Lee watched that show every week without fail. When I left home to join the Marines, he was still watching the reruns.

UNQUOTE

[Robert Oswald, Lee: Portrait of Lee Harvey Oswald by His Brother, p. 47]

(I Led Three Lives starring with Richard Carlson, ran on TV from 1953 to 1956. Before that there was a radio show.) 

    Are you aware of the books Oswald was reading in summer 1963 in New Orleans: commie hater Alexander Solzhenitsyn, 4 James Bond books, JFK's Profiles in Courage and the Christian classic Ben Hur? https://web.archive.org/web/20100928160857/http:/www.lee-harvey-oswald.com/images/Lee_Harvey_Oswald_and_His_Reading_Habits_in_New_Orleans.pdf 

   

     Are you aware that Oswald - unlike LBJ, Hoover, Dulles, Lansdale, Byrd, Clark, Hunt - was a huge fan of John Kennedy and his family? There are many sources for that, particularly Marina. In fact Oswald told Michael Paine that JFK was the best president in his lifetime: https://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/8118362-181/michael-paine-debated-politics-with

 

    Do you know what Marina told Jesse Ventura in 2010 for his TV show? "Is the truth more important than your children?" Which was Marina's way of saying I was forced to tell many, many lies about her deceased husband Lee in 1963 and 1964.

 

      The key to understanding the JFK assassination is not David Ferrie and Clay Shaw. That is laughable. The key is understanding the sub rosa WAR that was going on in the fall of 1963 between the Kennedys and Lyndon Johnson.

 

    The people who murdered JFK did it for personal reasons with a little bit of ideology added on top like whip cream and a cherry on a milkshake. The JFK assassination was the enactment of Operation Northwoods, which was probably written by Lansdale for the JCS. JFK turned it down in spring, 1962 but his enemies enacted it in November, 1963 with JFK as the victim and hopefully Castro would be the scapegoat.

 

     After the murder of Oswald on November 24, the U.S. public smelled a rat and there was no public appetite for a Cuban invasion. All LBJ wanted to do was escape the JFK assassination so he came out hard for civil rights as a way of co-opting the left wing of the Democratic party which deeply suspected him in the JFK assassination.

Unlike Max Boot I have never written a biography which proves that Gen. Edward Lansdale murdered JFK (“The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale and the American Tragedy in Vietnam”) and then hollered at the top of my lungs that a lone nut commie killed JFK.

Unlike Texas Tribune editor Evan Smith, I was not personal friends with the wife of the murderer of JFK, Lyndon Johnson, nor did I ever chum up to her and call her “Mrs. J” and nor have I taken money from the daughter of Lyndon Johnson, Luci Baines Johnson. [“Mrs. J,” Evan Smith, Texas Monthly, September 2007 and Texas Tribune All Time List of donors: Luci Baines Johnson & her husband Ian Turpin - $149,097 as of 1/5/2022.

Unlike LBJ biographer Doris Kearns Goodwin, I have never had the man who murdered JFK – Lyndon Johnson – ask me to marry him (“A Tale of Hearts and Minds, Sally Quinn, Washington Post, 8-24-75)

Unlike LBJ biographer Robert Caro, I have was never co-opted by one of the men – LBJ crony Ed Clark – who murdered JFK (see “Blood, Money, and Power” by Barr McClellan, published 2003)

Unlike LBJ biographer Robert Dallek, I do not endorse the ludicrous, machine gun-riddled Warren Report fantasy that Lyndon Johnson, Robert Kennedy, Jackie Kennedy, the KGB, Gerald Ford, Sen. Richard Russell, Sen. John Sherman Cooper, Cong. Hale Boggs, Sen. Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, CIA chief William Casey, JFK aides Kenny O’Donnell and Dave Powers, and LBJ’s inner circle mistress Madeleine Brown, LBJ kickbacks king Billie Sol Estes and and JFK’s longtime secretary Evelyn Lincoln never believed.

Unlike LBJ biographer Michael Beschloss, I was never a personal friend of Lady Bird Johnson, the wife of the man Lyndon Johnson, who murdered JFK and I have never implied that Fidel Castro might be behind the JFK assassination.

Unlike LBJ biographer Randall Woods, I have never slandered completely innocent CIA patsy Lee Harvey Oswald for the JFK assassination which was orchestrated by Lyndon Johnson (Randall Woods, LBJ: Architect of American Ambition, p. 417-418)

Unlike LBJ biographer Julian Zelizer, I have never defamed Lee Harvey Oswald for the murder of JFK, a crime that Lyndon Johnson committed.

Unlike Senior News Reporter Jason Whitely of WFAA (Dallas) I have never pushed the fantasy that a lone nut named Oswald killed JFK.

Unlike the LBJ Library, I have not erected museum exhibits that endorse the validity and accuracy of the truly bonkers Warren Report that not even Lyndon Johnson believed for one minute.
